After the fire that broke out in the building in via Riva di Ponente occupied for years by migrants and the homeless , the debate on dormitory buildings and other structures prey to decay takes center stage in Cagliari .
In the aftermath of the fire, the municipal councilor Marcello Polastri drew up the list of occupied buildings in the city area, sending it to the Prefect.
Here's the list:
- Ruins of avenue La Playa
- Ex Stallaggio Meloni (occupied by 2 homeless people)
- Alagon School of Cagliari (municipal property, occupied by a smuggler and some homeless people)
- Former DICAT battery on the Sant'Ignazio hill, frequently used as a makeshift shelter;
- Former Italcementi shipyard in Tuvixeddu, in via Falzarego.
- Grotta del Fico in the Science Palace area:
- "Casaccia" in viale Buoncammino, occupied by a dozen homeless people
"These are just some of the 'stages' of degradation, of the army of the 'marginalized' ", explains Polastri. Adding: "But other people live in the city who must be helped humanely, and even beforehand identified as required by the Law".
As for the stake in via Riva di Ponente, Polastri continues in his letter to the Prefect, «the whole city knew that those ramshackle and unsafe roofs, devoured by flames, had given for more than a decade the minimum possibly appreciable by the periodic occupants who arrived through of the sea and the nearby port, with its own baggage of despair and misery».
Furthermore, «beyond faeces and urine, every day morning and evening, the nearby illegal waste dump was fed, which the Municipality of Cagliari had to clean up punctually despite itself, at the expense of our taxpayers. There has been so much tolerance because Cagliari is rightly made like this: ».
